From The Right Angle - Dawes

You have found me on the other side

Of a loser’s winning streak

Where my thoughts all wander

Further than they should

Let me sing to you my solitude

Let me pay for your next drink

Let me defend these hearts

Which are so rarely understood

From the right angle, in the right light

I might seem like I could take care of you

For a brief moment, for a few nights

Until the changing world has tumbled back into view

When nothing really matters

The world gets harder to resist

And saves you a place

At the end of an empty glass

I am here as a reminder

The quick glance off of a cliff

I guess that’s why I though you would never ask

At the scene of all I’ve left unlearned

In the directions to your house

In every swing I took to crack the code

I need a cold beer from a dressing room

I need a string of dates back out

I think there are a few of us

That still belong out on the road

Until all you want is all I know how to do

I might seem like I could take care of you
